Eat, Pray, Love holidays and travel destinations

Eat - Italy

Gilbert's first stop was Italy, where she learnt Italian and savoured the
country's gastronomic offerings with gusto. In Rome she found the
perfect gelato at San Crispino (www.ilgelatodisancrispino.it).

The ice cream here comes in a tempting array of flavours from honey and
hazelnut to grapefruit and melon, cinnamon and ginger.

Their parlours are found at Via della Panetteria near the Trevi fountain, or
Piazza della Maddalena, behind the Pantheon, or Via Acaia, San Giovanni, or
at Terminal A of the Leonardo da Vinci airport.

Just a few minutes' walk from the Trevi fountain, Kirker Holidays (020

Royal Hotel. The price is from £459 per person (two sharing) including
